reps)Defi has been a long time supporter of foreign Brood War and now has a chance to demonstrate his personal skill. Defi is mostly known as a 2v2 player, however, his 1v1 play has shown some excellent peaks. What potentially makes Defi's game knowledge is his constant race swapping between Protoss and Zerg. With sufficient knowledge of this match up, Defi is sure to put up a good fight against the protoss hero, dOTY.

SJ.dOTY was the finalist of Altitude's International Starleague and currently known as the strongest foreign Protoss player. His great play stems majorly from his macro in PvZ/PvT and his solid Zealot micro control in PvP. dOTY offers a large arsenal of several effective builds in PvZ all with variant aggression timings which is sure to keep reps)Defi guessing.

This time around we have stepped our game and have invited our most fearsome opponent yet! It is none other than the bandana Terran himself, qxc! Well known for his immense understanding of the Terran race, the recent graduate from Harvey Mudd now has the time and freedom to pursue StarCraft II full time.

But now, with his attention focused solely on StarCraft II, qxc will be accomplishing huge feats in the months to come. Can Team ALT possibly take down this monster of a scholar?

For those unfamiliar with our Gauntlet series, it is a simple premise: Team ALT challenges a professional player to a 5 game showmatch. The catch? The pro only has himself vs 5 members of Team ALT. For each game, the winner will be awarded $20,with an all kill adding up to a potential $100! It's certainly a marathon for the pro and it will be a testament to his endurance for qxc should not take our players lightly! They have had the time to prepare for his style and qxc will have to face all 3 races. We promise you these matches will be a nail biting fight to the death (not really, but you get it)!
